Jetbrains/Webstorm and Java

Windows 7/ Webstorm 2016.2

I understand that the various JetBrains products contain their own JRE in the /jre folder. Suppose java jdk and jre are installed by for other reasons and the JAVA_HOME and PATH are set to my installation.  Will this affect which java jre will be run by webstorm?  NOTE:  I am not looking to override it I am just curious if it matters or not.

No, this shouldn't actually matter. JAVA_HOME is not the first place WebStorm looks for JDK:)

WebStorm.exe uses the following JDK search sequence:

  1.  WEBIDE_JDK environment variable

  2. ..\jre directory
  3. system Registry
  4. JDK_HOME environment variable
  5. JAVA_HOME environment variable
